This game was basically a three-player cross between chess and checkers. The main goal of this game is to jump on or over other players’ pieces until they have no more pieces left. You must follow these rules:
- 3D (three-player) chess board
- 2-3 players (each picks a color: red, blue, green, and chooses a side)
- youngest player goes first
- take turns in clockwise order
- you can only place new pieces on your starting edge
- move left, left-diagonal-up, up, right-diagonal-up, right, right-diagonal-down, down, and left-diagonal-down
- spin a random number (1-3), and move that many spaces in one direction
- if you reach the edge of a board, you continue to move in that same way—but in a reflected direction
- the goal is to jump on or over other players’ pieces.
- once you jump over or on another player’s piece, they remove their piece from the board
- every two rounds, add a new piece after everyone has completed the round
I played this game three times, and in each of those three times, I modified my game to include new & improved rules. Here are my play sessions:
Play Session 1
In this play session, we had three players. It was actually pretty fun since it was the first full game we played after drafting the base rules of the game.In this version, we actually chose to use a die—numbered 1-6—to choose the number of of moves to make.
Play Session 2
There were only two players in this play session. The first one could hardly be called a full game. Because of where we chose to place our pieces, the game ended in one round. Because of this, we decided to only allow players to place their pieces on their board edges. We also chose to place new pieces on the board after every round. The second game was pretty fun, but it lasted a bit too long. We had too many pieces on the board.
Play Session 3
In this play session, we had three players. We decided to only allow 1-3 moves instead of 1-6. We actually came across a dilemma that we completely looked over—what happens when you reach the end of the board, but you still have moves left? We decided to make players continue their movement—but in a reflected direction—similar to how the ball bounces off the walls in pong.

Taminderpaul, 3D Chase definitely seems like a game I would want to give a shot at playing! Especially since it’s doesn’t seem like a typical two player game, the third player does add a different touch to your game. Moreover, you have explicitly stated how your game went through a makeover after playing it a couple of times. You nailed that point for sure in your blog. However, if perhaps you had a few pictures of the different play sessions you had, they would enhance your blog even more. With that said, great work on your exciting new game!

Taminderpaul, good job with your blog! I enjoyed reading about your game and how you changed it up in each session. I like how it’s easy to understand and it seems like people of any age can play it. One advice I would like to give is to add more pictures, during the different sessions, so that we can see the layout of the game, and how it changed each time. Overall, nice job!
